Hippocampal Volumetrics Differentiate Pts with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy & Extratemporal Lobe Epil Arch Neurol 52:819-824, Gilmore,R.L.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Among the control subjects,the difference in HF volumetrics(right-left HF volumetrics)was+0.085+/-0.253 cm.Of the 41 patients,25 had temporal lobe epilepsy.When we set the upper limit of normal at the mean+/-3 SDs,all patients beyond the upper limit had CPSs of a temporal lobe origin.Of the patients with temporal lobe epilepsy,only three fell within normal limits. No patient with CPSs of an extratemporal lobe origin fell beyond the upper limit.The presence of significant HF volumetric asymmetry makes it highly unlikely that a patient's CPSs are of an extratemporal lobe origin.
